League 1 Promotion Thread

[Gerry Gow]

Ah it was at our place. Yeah they went up as champions, both fans on the pitch and City congratulating the nobbers that day.

 

[Hurrikeen]

So it seems MK are doing their annual bottle job, whilst Swindons arse has well and truly gone.

 

[Ciderhead]

Just seen Swindon's form over the last 8 games: W2 D1 L5

Ouch.

 

[TomPNE94]

City got promoted at our place in 98 I think and then we went up at Ashton Gate in 2000

Edit: City didn't get promoted at Deepdale but played here last day of the season and I think we congratulated them or summat

 

[old parkender]

I thought it went back to when they went up at champions and played them at our place. All on the pitch!

I remember it well....fun kinda day!

 

[Inspector Todd]

City are off into the sunset. You'll probably clinch the title day after Easter Monday.

 

[Inspector Todd]

With Ian McLoughlin in goal Saturday Preston will score at least 3.

 

[JJH]

Optimistic, but - to bring back good old memories, we could get promoted at Deepdale, which will be our 41st game - we only need to gain a 3 point gap and maintain it, and it will happen..

ONLY

Easy job, ay?

Oh god I really hope so, that would make for a very fun night out on Saturday

 

[blademan89]

Of course, he wont have run the channels enough

Hes actually come out and said with the subs we made we went for the game wow what a deluded tosser. Iv never in all my life slated a manager but i do think he is holding this team back.

I see you there reading the thread, say hi, we don't bite

My dad tells me I was there, but I have no recollection of it whatsoever

 

[old parkender]

A big pissed-up handshake and backslap thing all over the East end section of the pitch....Funny as fuck looking back!

 

[Cardsfan]

Pissed at the age of 5. Why doesn't that surprise me

He classes it as his favourite ever away day so it must have been alreet

We're going to sneak in to the playoffs after 18 months of mediocrity, to knock out MK Dons, aren't we?

That would be fucking hilarious (no offence Dons fans)

 

[BCFC Jordan]

The table is looking almost too good now, it's kind of unsettling!

Keep getting the job done, boys. We've been doing it all season.

[redjed]

I'd rather have the option to drink on the train but i'm pretty sure I could last 1hr and 40m without consuming alcohol.

You ever been on a football special, you are non priority, you stop for ages in god forsaken places, and you usually are late getting to the ground, good luck with your 1hour 40.!!!!

So long as we make the play-offs, Robinson has delivered in my opinion. That was always the season target before some of the big wins had us dreaming of more.

Would be nice to make it past the Semi-Finals for once.

 

[Ravey 28]

Oh dear, we're on a terrible run, but somehow only 2 points off second. Although I've stopped dreaming of the autos unless we suddenly put a run together.

City are up now, no question, and you have to say fully deserved tbh.

Looks like Preston for 2nd given us an MK are bottling it but you just never know in this funny old game

Stops once in Wigan. That's it.

It's a Virgin Train in 2015. It stops once for about 3 minutes.

 

[Agombar stool]

Looks like Bristol City are a juggernaut at the moment.

Meanwhile, we are chasing in this -

 

[4froale]

tbf I don't think it matters who makes that final spot, I reckon the current top five are all too good for any team to beat over two legs.

 

[LuSiVe]

Meh, how many times do we have to beat MK Dons ?

 

[mpmbee]

What's going on with Swindon at the moment? Was very impressed when I watched them against Coventry a while back but there form has been pretty poor these last couple of weeks.

Hi mate.

The general consensus among Town fans is that we have been sussed, or found out. We play a very specific brand of football, a style that is probably the most attractive in the division, but unfortunately it can be effectively limited (see Oldham, Chesterfield, Rochdale, Gillingham). We stick religiously to it and there is no plan b, so when a team plays for a draw or sneaks in front, we often struggle as, for all of our fancy footwork and frankly beautiful play, things ultimately break down in the final third. We are guilty of over-playing it at times and really should have put more teams to the sword, but it's the refusal to shake things up when struggling/behind that has really been our downfall recently.
